Hong Kong has more than 600 Chinese temples spread throughout the territory. Some date back over 700 years, while others have been built in recent times. They serve followers of Buddhism and Taoism as well as a number of deities. Since Hong Kong has long depended on the sea for its trade and fishing, most deities are associated with seafaring and the weather. The most popular is Tin Hau. There are also a number of monasteries and nunneries, some in very remote areas.
